GameStop has just announced a new preorder bonus for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, that ties in directly with Destiny. If you preorder Advanced Warfare at GameStop, you will get access to a Level 20 Blacksmith Armor Shader.

Yea, you just have to tell them or you can show them the receipt and you’ll get the code

This is so stupid. I don’t want a pre-order bonus for Destiny. I click on a COD article for COD-related news/info. Take that Destiny shit elsewhere.

Siftblade of Rivia

Destiny was in the title and the picture was of Destiny. Who’s fault is it for clicking?

UglyBrownKid

The point is, give us a pre-order bonus for the game that we’re ACTUALLY pre-ordering. This makes no sense from a gamer’s perspective who has no interest in Destiny.

whoa

This is COD related.

Penguin-Kun

You don’t have to. It did say BEFORE September 21.

This is only happening because preorders have been low for Advanced Warfare in comparison to other years – Just because Ghosts flopped, its damaged the brand and meant that people are hesitant to preorder this year. This obviously means SHG aren’t off to the bests of starts BUT from what we’ve seen Advanced Warfare is looking to be that change which we’ve all been waiting for, and I hope for SHG’s sake AW does well!

that looks really STUPID. It’s just recycled ctrl+c and ctrl+v mindless game creation. You only like it because it has slow motion and loud noises, you fool!!

Grenada!

I would actually rather have that than AW, no joke.

UpRiftCOD

I would to, but then people wouldn’t buy the main titles. And that would make Activision very sad.

PHAT PETE

same

I preordered Destiny, played the beta, and canceled my preorder. Not interested at all. -_-

AcePhoenix007

Well this is interesting….

For a second I thought it was actual armor but a shader? Just color? Nope I prefer Amazon over the fuckers at GameStop. I started saving money and time while also giving GameStop the middle finger years ago. Those greedy bastards that pay less and sell for higher prices piss me off. And everything from Amazon in Europe is cheaper before launch. In US I know a game usually stays $59,99 or $59,95 but here instead of 69,99€ or 59,99€ we get 54,99€ or even less. And buying multiple games from the UK while paying in € can save me even more. Fuck GameStop, I hope they disappear in the coming years.

They have no garuntee that they can sell it again after they buy it from you. It isn’t similar to a place where you bring your soda can and get 10c back because they reuse the tin. They have to account for not being able to sell the product used and it sitting on the shelf for years. It is a business, not a charity. If they gave more money for used things then they would not profit and the company would close down. Only stupid people complain about Gamestop’s buyback policy.

Are you saying you didn’t realise these existed? Because that’s ridiculous. To use them you have to love pretty slowly, they don’t have jet packs or invisibility. It’s not just this but also the gameplay of cod which has been shit and not even close to realism.

That means they can now wield a sniper rifle like it’s a SMG. I expect quickscoping in this COD.

Fun times ahead. I haven’t quickscoped for a while.

Brady the Defiled (sillibk)

Quickscoping is for douche canoes that are terrible at the game. Using snipers like shotguns? *facepalm*. Lol.

Run N Gunning Camper

Terrible? That’s you.

You’re the one who openly says you rage quit in COD when people don’t play the game the way you want them to. You just can’t handle it. It’s like the kid in the park who takes his ball and goes home because he can’t beat the other kids.

UpRiftCOD

You would think with the super human strength of the exo suites, they would be able to handle all the kick from the weapon.

Fuck me I want this. I always thought that black and gold/yellow looked extremely good together. But I’m not going to be able to get it, because I’m not pre-ordering AW/Destiny. It’s all good, though. Great marketing.

……. and I’m still waiting for the digital pro edition to launch in the EU/SA ps store 🙁

Sentinel

Great marketing done by Activision. Probably boost up ’em Advanced Warfare pre-orders. I’m just curious to see what gamers would choose to play the most when both of these awesome games are out. I’m hooked on COD for sure, Day zero. Locked in.

J4MES

I’m not a fan of these pre-order bonuses that plague games today particularly the ones which are exclusive to individual retailers.

PHAT PETE

is cod pre orders that bad this year?

Run N Gunning Camper

It is bad in the US. Destiny is killing COD AW. Destiny dominates the top 6 positions.

COD pre-orders have never been this bad and I am not surprised that they’re doing this promo to uplift pre-orders.

They are extremely low but did spike after Gamescom and will continue to do so in the next couple of months. It’s a real shame that it’s not getting the backing it deserves as it could be the best COD in a very long time indeed. Sadly Ghosts and IW have destroyed much of the trust but I hope Sledgehammer restore faith on release and the community is united again with a good game.

Guywithbrains

AW feels like it would be really much fun. Exo suit abilities make gameplay much more funnier. Although those who don’t like exo suit can still enjoy the game by playing no-exosuits playlist.

DopeAap

Level 20 armor is pretty useless :

DannyT

Advanced Warfare will sell less than Destiny and FIFA 15 this year.

Ryumoau

…..and your point is?

KYS

Shut up blind fanboy

Guywithbrains

It seems like it. There is a good reason, though. People won’t pre-order so easily because of Ghosts.

Although I think Destiny is way overhyped but that is just my opinion.

PCMR

AW will sell less than many games this year. Infinity Ward and Ghosts have practically destroyed COD and even with a good game, SHG will struggle to get people back. New gen = new standard of games and possibilities.

Ryumoau

if you already preordered advanced warfare, do you have to go back to gamestop to get the code or will it be included on the receipt for Destiny?

Destiny isn’t even that good. I played the beta and it was nothing special, I really can’t see what all the hype is about. People say it’s like a MMO, it has small MMO features in it yes but it feels just like any other shooter you can go and pick up at this moment. I got bored with the MP after a few matches and I actually cancelled my pre-order for Destiny. I will eventually get Destiny but it’s nothing special and it’s not a must have at launch. I’ll get it when it’s cheaper, maybe Xmas time when there is deals on.

Guywithbrains

5 places with small areas to visit, repetitive missions, same looking enemies, not so good voice acting and almost copied boring multiplayer from Halo.

Destiny looked promising until I got my hands on the beta on PS4. I got bored to the game in one hour but I still managed to get to the max level in the beta.

[My opinion]

Grenada!

Exactly although I don’t see how you’re calling Halo MP boring, Halo apart from Halo 4 is amazing. But yeah I know what you mean about Destiny’s repetitive missions, I got to the third mission and I was like haven’t I done this before? The area’s don’t even look that nice either, just some scrapped cars and field. I hope the full game is better since that was just the beta but god the beta was crap. I can honestly see the game dying out in a month or so.

UpRiftCOD

Not for me, ill be playing it for 2 years, or untill the new one comes out. Plus there’s expansion packs.

Damien Anderson

So if I preorder AW will they give me the code right away, or when AW releases?

Ryumoau

i would hope they give the code now or when Destiny releases. The code won’t do us any good when AW releases because i imagine most people would have already moved on from Destiny or are far above level 20 to find that armor useful.
